FIRST OF ALL.
This is a "little push" because I don't own the tablatures. Since they already exist on the internet, it is easier for me to promote them and make them available to a wider audience here on Steam. I will leave all end credits for all my information sources and YouTube videos.

I hope this reaches more people who want to learn to play and didn't know about this possibility or who would just like to learn. To enjoy!



INTRO/ RIEBECK'S THEME
The first of them is "Outer Wilds Intro Theme" or "Riebeck's theme" and the easiest of them.

First, place a capo on the second fret. You can use the standard guitar tuning. 100 bpm. (note: if your guitar is made of Nylon, the tuning will not be the same as the steel guitar. When I played, I used a steel guitar and I didn't get to test it on a Nylon one. I don't know much changes in relation to this song).






Now, follow this tablature below:






















Remembering, the song is full of Pull-offs. If you're just starting out on the instrument, it's obviously more difficult to make a beautiful sound like that.
You can play this on an electric guitar too, without any distortion.

Here you also have the same song played on video by the "Ortemygrr" channel on YouTube.

And here I am playing this song in a video recorded a long time ago!


MAIN THEME
This song is with the capotraste on the fifth fret. Unfortunately, I didn't find the tablature in an image, but there is a video from a channel called "Ortemygrr" teaching how to play. From here, if you only have the video, it's because I couldn't find the tablatures in images.
This one is more difficult and I didn't get to test it, but it's just as beautiful.

SOLANUM THEME
Here is the theme of our dear Nomai Solanum!


I even found the tablature in an image, but I found the video more understandable than putting the images here, but you can access them on the website: https://musescore.com/user/41873457/scores/11415643

This one is also very difficult.
ECHOES OF THE EYE THEME
This is very difficult, so WARNING!!! THIS SONG IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE BEGINNING!!!


























Here is the video from the same channel playing the song:

14.3 BILLION YEARS
Here the capo will be on the fifth fret and the tuning will be on Drop D: Changes the tone of the sixth string. Just tune it down one tone: DADGBE

TIMBER HEARTH
It's up to you to play with the capo on the fifth fret.

NOMAI
This one is more complicated because it uses harmonic notes.


A tip: at least for me, just barely touching the string causes this harmonic. On the electric guitar, it also works with both hands and also as shown in the video (just look at his hand)
RIVER
This can be played on the electric guitar and it is WONDERFUL. When I played the DLC for the first time, I was really enchanted by this song.
One day I will learn it and post it here.


CREDITS
The vast majority of credits go to the channel "Ortemygrr" where I also learned these songs.


I don't know if he was the one who originally created and made the tabs available, but if so, it was incredible.

The other credits go to the website: songsterr.com and that was what I found most understandable to read.

And last but not least: Andrew Prahlow!
Thank you very much for making the wonderful and memorable music for this game!
Here are the YouTube playlists for the soundtrack along with the DLC:



Thank you for following this "little push" that I gave to the great musicians who were interested!
